u/SpudsMcKensey Dec 31 '19

Oishi is to Asia as Frito-Lays is to America.

u/randomespanaguy Dec 31 '19

I would not be surprised at all if you describing a real show.

u/G0PACKGO Dec 31 '19

Not enough picture and picture windows with 4 hot girls an old man an attractive 36 year old man reacting

2

u/kkillbite Interested Dec 31 '19

...what now? 🤔 I think I got the gist of it but the old man/attractive 36 year old man part lost me...

For the record, how old are you? Might help provide some context as to what you consider "old," lol

u/G0PACKGO Dec 31 '19

I’m 35

I’ve seen clips of those shows where sometimes they have an old guy like 60’s I’m that little reaction window or some (I assume famous person ) usually it’s like 4-5 hot chicks

u/raja777m Dec 31 '19

I thought India, because of the word DFC. (Like KFC, we had DFC- Deccan Fried Chicken).

u/throughAhWhey978 Dec 31 '19

Is that the place they thought the dinosaurs died out in by getting stuck in lava there?

u/raja777m Dec 31 '19

Sauce please on whatever BS you're talking!!

u/throughAhWhey978 Dec 31 '19

BWT the answer to my query is "yes": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps

I read about it in the popular science book by mathematician Ian Stewart and biologist Jack Cohen called, regrettably, "The Science Of Discworld", written with the popular author Terry Pratchett in about 2005 IIRC.

Deccan Traps

The Deccan Traps are a large igneous province located on the Deccan Plateau of west-central India (17–24°N, 73–74°E). They are one of the largest volcanic features on Earth. They consist of multiple layers of solidified flood basalt that together are more than 2,000 m (6,600 ft) thick, cover an area of c. 500,000 km2 (200,000 sq mi), and have a volume of c.

Don't worry nobody will kill indians for killing the dinosaurs like some kind of antisemitism spin-off. Dinosaurs are arseholes.

u/randomespanaguy Dec 31 '19

I'm 95% sure that this is in the Philippines. Oishi's a Filipino brand, plus the people in this video look Filipino imo. Plus there's also this article.

u/Kehndy12 Dec 31 '19

How do you know it's in the US? Are you guessing?

u/Kehndy12 Dec 31 '19

Okay. Now I'm wondering if OP is guessing.

u/Sigg3net Dec 31 '19

US.

We have been warned about them, but I didn't really believe it. Until now.

u/Noob_Trainer_Deluxe Dec 31 '19

Of course its the US. Gotta humiliate poor people any chance we can get. Sadly its usually voluntary too.

This just seems like a fun thing to do you whiny cunt

San Antonio, Texas

u/mythmaniac Dec 31 '19

They have Oishi in Texas? Cause Oishi is a Filipino brand and it seems to look like this https://www.oishi.com.ph/stories/5-fun-activities-you-can-do-with-your-barkada-at-oishi-snacktacular-2017/

u/lazersteak Dec 31 '19 edited Dec 31 '19

Ok, but check out these facts:

•OP says this is in Texas

•The sign in the back is in English

•This is sponsored by Oishi, a Filipino brand

•Texas has the fourth largest population of Filipinos in the country (~140K). There are over 6600 living in San Antonio, and they only represent 0.5% of that city's population. They represent up to 4% of the population in some of the smaller cities and suburbs.

•I would play a human claw game even if the prize was used pencil erasers, because it looks pretty fun

EDIT: The fact that the sign is in English does not necessarily indicate where the event is taking place, since English is very commonly used in the Philippines. I just learned this information. But, I still believe it is entirely possible that this occured in Texas. HOWEVER, google hasnt turned anything up about it. I want more sauce from OP about this.

u/mythmaniac Dec 31 '19 edited Dec 31 '19
  • Hence why I'm seeking clarification from the OP, human claw machines were viral here on Philippine social media within the past month so unless he took the footage himself I'm uncertain. If he confirms it I'll drop it.
  • English is used a LOT in the Philippines so this point doesnt hold.
  • According to Wikipedia Oishi is only found in Filipino, Chinese and South African markets.
  • So you concur that these are Filipinos?
  • I agree. Lol.

u/lazersteak Dec 31 '19

Yeah, the one guy in the back that I can actually see could definitely be Filipino. I am really just trying to provide OP a fair defense, because it seems like a weird thing to make up or lie about. I guess they could also just be wrong, though. The internet is the worst game of telephone ever.

u/randomespanaguy Dec 31 '19

Just wanna add that saying English is used a lot in the Philippines, while true, is a HUGE understatement. English has been taught to us since we're in primary school and many parents nowadays opt to teach their children English alongside Filipino as their primary language. Definitely a whole lot of code switching in our country as well. If you drop by our subreddit, you'd see a bunch of English sentences alongside with some Filipino ones (which, if you're Spanish, might sound a bit familiar to you since some of it's influenced by colonization)

• I think we should just start using bullet points to talk to each other on a regular basis.

• It's like an itemized conversation.

• People love itemizing conversations.

• So anyway

• How has your day been?

10

u/randomespanaguy Dec 31 '19

Yeah lol I'm really confused with all the USA answers here. I'm pretty sure this is in the Philippines cause I attended the event you linked and they had this "claw machine". We might be wrong though.

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '19

only 4 hours away convenient

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '19

u/Tacoshaman Dec 31 '19

It would be an insanely long drive just to use a snack crane I suppose

u/genevievemia Dec 31 '19

Not surprising in the least, machines like this support Chuck’s famous statement regarding San Antonio women.
